Une « drôle de guerre » à l’écran : Khalkhin Gol by Alexandre Sumpf

“…Under the misleading appearance of a linear narrative, there is thus a complex mechanism that uses all the weapons developed by Soviet film propaganda from the previous two decades – in vain, it seems, since the film finally remains "on the shelf", considered inappropriate in 1940 when the "Strange peace" settles in the East of Europe.…”

“The Enchanted Hunters and the Hunted Enchanters: the dizzying effects of embedded structures and meta-artistic devices in Lolita, novel and film” by Marie Bouchet

“…This paper explores some of the various mises en abyme and metatextual devices in Nabokov’s and Kubrick’s Lolita, so as to explore how such devices create a poetics of reflections, and themselves reflect the manner in which the relationship to the reader/spectator is engaged by the literary and filmic narratives. As underscored by Lucien Dallenbach, internal duplications or self-reflexive devices are double-layered: they serve a purpose in the fictional universe, and have a reflexive function aimed at disclosing one of the text’s components. …”

2000-2015 : un âge d’or du format webdocumentaire by Michaël Bourgatte

“…Dozens of projects were launched, especially between 2000 and 2015, renewing the documentary film genre thanks to the potential of digital technology and the Internet: the presence of text, graphic elements, and a whole range of services and options that allow the emergence of delinearized, sliding or playful narratives. However, from 2015 onwards, the web (or interactive) documentary will experience a clear downturn, which can be explained in several ways: it is technically difficult to create, share and archive; its content is generally serious or scholarly, which distances it from the commonly playful nature of cinema, but also from the most widespread uses of the web, which are essentially recreational; audiences sometimes have difficulty in understanding the proposals made to them; finally, with no economic model and therefore no commercial perspectives, funders will gradually begin to distance themselves from web (or interactive) documentaries…”
